Gen X Jet Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 http://blog.nola.com/saintsbeat/2008/02/saints_nearing_vilma.html The Saints are close to finalizing a deal that will bring middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma to the team in a trade with the New York Jets, league sources said. The deal could be announced as early as later Thursday night or sometime on Friday. Vilma, 6 foot 1, 230 pounds, is a four-year NFL veteran. He played in nine games for New York, his season shortened by knee surgery. He had 43 total tackles in the nine games he played in 2007 for the Jets.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I hope this doesn't go through, because i beleive the best chance of nabbing Jenkins or Rogers is through trading vilma. Unless the panthers want drob instead? I am not sure, but i am eagerly waiting what's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could somehow trade vilma to the saints for a pick and than still get kris jenkins from panthers while getting rid of drob, than this would be a hugely successfull offseason.

GreenBeans Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 New Orleans is giving up the 10th pick for Vilma? Only if it is the 10th pick in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Only if it is the 10th pick in the 3rd round. Lets hope it's the 10 pick in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Only if it is the 10th pick in the 3rd round. He's worth a round 2 pick, but I want rogers. As to what do I expect tomorrow morning? Honestly, nothing.. no news at all. I've been a Jets fan too long to expect any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are close to trading linebacker Jonathan Vilma to the Saints, several sources said tonight. Also, the Jets are aggressively pursuing Panthers nose tackle Kris Jenkins, sources said.

shutout Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You guys do realize he's coming off of major knee surgery, is entering the last year of his contract, and does not fit our defense at all (meaning there's about a 2% chance he'd resign with us after this year)...Face it,regardless of your feelings about him as a player (see this thread/Sperm's posts on Vilma's overratedness), we just don't have the leverage in negotiations regarding Vilma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rillo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are YOU kidding YOURSELF? His value should be higher than a third...especially if the team that wants to trade for him plays a 4-3, Tampa/cover 2....he'll be a beast in that system, its proven already. If this goes thru...we got fleeced IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are YOU kidding YOURSELF? Why the **** will you trade Vilma for a 3rd round pick ? WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? This is a former ROY, former pro bowl LB, and most importantly he's a franchise LB. And your giving him up for a 3rd rounder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey if he was worth so much more than that, how come no one's offering more than a 3rd? Answer: because he's not. This is (unfortunately for us) roughly the correct trade value for a player coming off an IR injury/surgery and two bad seasons in a row. I'm still holding out hope for more, but I doubt we'll get it. I think the Saints pick #15 in round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetme23 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 The jets have zero leverage in trade talks with vilma. They just need to hold out and hope teams create a bidding war situation..otherwise Vilma for a third is about as good as it will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 But every team knows we switched defenses, they also know that Vilma is a 4-3 LB. Other teams don't factor in how much some of a team's fans love their former first-round draft pick. And if every team knows it, and if he's really worth more than that in trade, why is the best offer so low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
